Steven+Mavis+Josh+Amy+Noah+Lylah: Family Photographer

I don't think Amy believed me when I told her, but I honestly had a blast editing and reliving these photos!  There were so many surprise expressions and beautiful, sentimental moments to re-experience.

Noah and Lylah recently turned one, and Amy wanted some photos to commemorate the big event.  Grandma and Grandpa came along to help entertain the kids and get in on some of the photos- I loved the way they turned out!  Hermann park offered the perfect backdrop: park benches, bridges, trains and bright, yellow flowers.

This is one of those photos that made my day :)

Mark+Alex+Samantha: Family Photographer

A few months ago, I photographed newborn, Brooke, in his parent's country-feel town home.  Little did I know, there was another adorable newborn just next door!

Samantha's parents waited until she was 3 months to take some formal portraits of her, so they were quite different than Brooke's photos.  Our little girl was alert and watching the entire time.

Alex had a couple of great baskets and tutus to choose from, and I brought along my green suitcase to add some diversity to the project.  Although Mark wasn't a huge fan of the fluffy skirts, I -of course- adored them!

This open-ended basket worked so well

I dare you not to crack a smile..

Samantha's animals love her!
